Hi,
I'm in the market for dual home and car chargers.
I never knew about QuickCharge 2.0 that my Note 4 and my wife A500F is capable of, but now I see that.
I can't find any "dual" charger from known firm (Lots of at AliExpress). Is it just unavailable ?
Is there really a big difference between QC2.0 capable charger and 2.5A charger ? (saw Anker 2.4AX2 or iOttie 2.5Ax2).
Thanks!
I haven't seen a Qualcomm 2.0 Quick Charge charger that is both AC and a car charger. Getwow has both an AC wall charger and a car charger. Check Amazon. I have the Getwow AC wall charger and it works well with my Note 4.
thanks.
I'm not looking for dual as for both car/ac.
I mean dual USB port. one for home and one for car.
how important is the Quick Charge 2.0 ?
my opinion, quick charge is critical. it really works especially when your device has been drained. I doubt i would ever get another device without it. It is more important to me than wireless charge which is a convenience
I do not work for CHOETECH, I merely providing informative information because I've tested several usb type-c cables and chargers, and the CHOETECH are still some of my favorites. Also you can check out my video reviews of all for several companies on my youtube channel. 'Techbswift'.. I reviewed a CHOETECH wall charger weeks ago and I still use it everyday.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex...tech-rapid-charger-actually-nexus-6p-t3263173
So CHOETECH has heard it's customers loud and clear and they continue to ensure all their products meet the standards. They are getting ready to release an updated car charger and a new top of the line 3 in one wall charger. The wall charger will be extremely sweet because it will be the first on the market that provides a 3 in one charger, and it will follow type-c standards. I'm extremely pumped because it will have the ability to charger my 12" Macbook Retina and my phone at the same time. Having only one usb port on the Macbook sucks... The charger will also have auto detect so if you are charging less say your Nexus 6p and a Note 5, it will know the exact settings to charger the Note 5.
The updated car charger will drop sometime around the end of the month ( I hope) and will be an updated version of the charger they released. I still use the old charger but I guess they wanted to ensure their car charger meets 100% of the expectations of usb type-c standards.
I stole some of this information from the web pages on Amazon, and if you haven't grabbed one of the old but amazing wall chargers yet the link is below.

1. 5v/3a type c rapid adapter is the first 3rd 5v/3a USB-C adapter on the market now.
2. With a 5v/3a type c port, the upcoming 39W 3 ports type c wall charger will be perfectly compatible with most type c devices, like 12'' Retina Macbook, Google Pixel C, Nexus 6p/5x, Lumia 950/950 XL etc, the other two auto-detect ports can charge most of android devices and apple devices, which will be a must have at home and on office desk.
3. As for the upcoming 33w Type C car charger, with an Quick Charge 2.0 port and a Type C 5V 3A charging port, this car charger can charge most of devices also.
That's good service right there. I will wait for the new one to be released to pick one up.

For #1, they really need to ditch their wall wart design and move on to power bricks like Anker and Aukey did long, long ago.
#2 looks like the first of it's kind.
#3 is already available and is just OKAY. At $16 and no included USB type-C cable, you're not really saving anything over the Google charger on the Google Store.
Im dissapointed they dont release these in the UK.
We have no type c wall charger apart from Google official.
OK, LG G5 finally was released. Supports quick charge 3.0 and comes with type-c port. Pretty sweet! I had posted a list about the Best Quick Charge 3.0 Chargers from the Famous Accessories Brands on S7 forum. (click here) Sadly S7 doesn't use the type-c port. I decided to buy the LG G5. :highfive:

Anyone know how quick you can go from dead to 100 with quick charge 3 on a USB 3C?
Hi Everyone, I can't wait for the G5, the modular design looks really intriguing, with that being said, I got the http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AAHT62A?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00 in anticipation of the Lg G5, but I have used it on other Quick Charge 2.0 Devices and it is awesome! Smaller and lighter than I expected and the actual battery pack charges fast with a quick charge plug! It is a nice portable pack for anyone looking into buying it!

Nice to see an external pack with quickcharge built in. My solar battery pack probably doesn't have that, but it'll do for now.
I want to use the phone at once!!

My question is will the stock out of box G5 charger cable work between the phone and my laptop. I've been reading stuff about a 75 resistor and I'm confused.
I also thought the stock charger was in fact a QC 3.0 charger.

Stock cable works fine with my laptop. As far as the stock charger, it is QC 2.0 not 3.0. Not sure why LG did that.

So you can transfer files, photos etc to/from the G5/laptop with no issues with stock cable? I thought the cable had to have some type of 75 ohm or something resistor in it so that it does not mess up the computer and its USB port?
I just do backup on my pc lg bridge with stock cable

Here's the power bank I picked up:
http://www.amazon.com/Qualcomm-Cert...&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00
RAVPower 20,100mAh with QC 3.0, USB type C, regular iSmart USB port. so it can charge regular speed charging devices, Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 (and backward compatable to 2.0/1.0) and USB-C fast charging. Pretty much have all you bases covered. So I can charge my G5 and Nexus 6P at their full rate.
Also it can charge using QC 3.0 (if you have a QC 3.0 charger) to charge the huge 20,100mAh in about 4.5 hours.
I am looking for powerstation which can Charge LG g5 and second battery in Quick Charge Mode.
Anbody an idea?
Alright, I've read through a TON of threads on this topic, but everything is so freaking scattered over dozens of pages so I'm hoping this can be quick and simple for someone out there.
I understand how PD works, now. I didn't when I ordered my phone, got super excited, and spent a bunch of money on a bunch of Anker PowerLine+ cables since this will be my first USB-C device. Then I find this link to Benson's spreadsheet and I'm freaking out. And, of course, this is my first post so I can't include external links... UGH
I bought:
USB-C to USB 3.0 3' & 6': Anker Powerline+ USB C to USB 3.0 Cable (3ft - A8168091 - 2 on Spreadsheet) & Anker PowerLine+ USB C to USB 3.0 cable (6ft - AK-A8169091 NOT LISTED ON SPREADSHEET)
C to C: Anker Powerline+ C to C 2.0 cable (3ft - AK-A8187091) -1 on Spreadsheet
C to 3 Non-PowerLine 10': Anker PowerLine USB-C to USB 3.0 Cable (10ft) with 56k Ohm Pull-up Resistor
Anker Wall Plug (PowerIQ, not PD): Anker Elite Dual Port 24W USB Travel Wall Charger PowerPort 2 with PowerIQ
I'm sure they'll be fine, but here is what I really need. I would prefer a dock for my nightstand that will charge slowly when I'm sleeping. If I shouldn't be charging at night let me know.... I have no idea if charging your phone past 100% while you're sleeping is still bad... or if they've figured out how to cut off the current. From what I understand the electrical current is drawn, not pushed, so theoretically charging past 100% should be fine? No? Or does that still bloat the battery and get it hot? Sorry, I know a lot about phones, but my knowledge of electrical current is pretty darn slim.
I would also like to have a fast PD charger for my truck. Cigarette lighter would be preferred, but I do have a 110V AC plug. I would prefer to leave that for my laptop.
Lastly, I need a PD fast charger for the kitchen. My wife has an iPhone 7+ and I would prefer to have one that would fast charge both of our devices at the same time. Is that possible?
Right now it just feels like a blew a bunch of money on less-than-optimal products...
Thank you so much for the help, appreciate the guidance.

Aukey reached out to me to test some of their new OmniPower charging products so of course I obliged. They sent me their 63W dual USB C PD wall charger, 27W single port PD wall charger, 18W flush-fit PD car charger, 4-in-1 USB C hub with 100W PD passthrough and wireless charging, and finally their 8000mAh portable battery with PD and wireless charging. They also sent braided USB C to C and a C to Lightning cables.
I actually already owned the car charger, as my previous one had died and I was looking for the smallest form factor possible. I've had it a few months now and it reliably fast charged my P3XL, and I've had no issues with the 4XL either. It is incredibly compact, an I personally like that it doesn't have an LED. It only offers 18W, which is plenty for a phone, but if you're looking to charge a laptop off of it it won't charge as fast.
The 63W dual USB C charger was the device I was most excited about, as I have many USB C devices at this point so consolidating chargers for traveling is appreciated. It is not small by any means, but for a 63W dual charger it is very compact. The folding plug helps, but it is mostly due to the use of GaN, which I am very excited to see being used a bit more. When charging two devices it uses what Aukey calls Dynamic Detect, providing the right amount of power to each connected device. It can achieve max output of 45W on one port and 18W on the second; if charging just one device it will max out at 60W on the bottom port. That last part is important to remember, because there is no marking on the charger that indicates the bottom port is required for higher powered devices. When I first tried it I had the laptop plugged into the top port and got a low power charger warning. Switching the ports resolved this, and there was no power dip on either the phone or laptop when a second device was plugged in. That said, my Chromebook Plus doesn't pull more than 45W so if you're using something like a MacBook Pro it'll max out at 45W while another device is plugged in.
The single port 27W PD charger also uses GaN, and Aukey claims that it is the smallest of it's kind. It is simply a tiny cube, no bigger an an original iPhone charging brick, and the folding plug makes it even more compact to pack. Again, my P4XL charged with no problem. Even though my Chromebook OEM charger is 45W, this 27W charger did not give me a low power charging warning.
The 8000mAh battery pack is interesting in that it offers Qi wireless charging, though only at 5W. Given the slow charging combined with the inefficient nature of both wireless charging and battery packs this is more of a novelty to me, but nonetheless it does work. You have to double press the power button to activate it, so it is not constantly sending power to the coils. As for standard charging it has 2 USB A ports; one a QC 3 and the other a 5V/2.4A. It touts a low current mode to charge small devices like trackers or headphones that don't require as much juice as a smartphone. The USB C port puts out a max of 18W via PD. The battery is relatively slim, and about the same footprint as my 4XL. It's thin enough that you could conceivably have both the bank and phone in your pocket and use wireless charging, but unless you find yourself without a cable I wouldn't see why you'd want to.
The 4-in-1 USB C hub, which is about the same footprint as a generic wireless charging cube, though much thicker. It is well constructed, with a slightly rounded but grippy rubber top and a metal base. The heft of the metal as well as a rubber foot makes sure it doesn't slide around. There are four ports: HDMI with 4K output, USB C with 100W PD passthrough and 2 USB 3.0 A ports which can transfer at 5Gbps. To enable wireless charging you need to plug the hub into both a USB C charger and the C port on your laptop, but with the 100W pass through charging this will allow you to charge both your laptop and phone at the same time. The USB C passthrough charging speed is obviously dependent on the charger it is connected to. It's a very handy device given that more and more laptops are losing traditional ports like USB A and HDMI.
Lastly are the charging cables. The Lightning cable is 1.2m/3.9ft and the USB C is 2m/6.6ft. Aukey touts the graphene skin as allowing the cables to be thinner and more flexible, but still deliver fast data and charging speeds and the USB C is rated for PD up to 60W. They didn't give exact specs on the Lightning cable, but the marketing materials mention that it pairs well with 18w PD chargers so I'm assuming it is more limited in it's capabilities. Both cables are very high quality and I will definitely be using the USB C one on a frequent basis.
I'm a bit of a geek with these things so I'm always looking to try out the latest and greatest. I've got a drawer full of PD chargers and battery packs that go unused for one reason or another, but these will definitely be added to my frequently used items. The 63W charger is great because at this point most of the devices in our house are USB C, and the 27W is so small it will easily get thrown in my bag. I'm excited about GaN and I really hope to see small chargers with lots of ports. I've been using Aukey products for a while now, and this new lineup is definitely something I'd recommend. They are offering XDA members 50% off any of these OmniPower products on their website through the end of the month, and it looks like the discount applies to some of the items that are already discounted, so for example the battery pack is only $15.

I bought the Focus Duo a few weeks ago when they sent me an email and I've been using it since then. Works perfectly and mine has a laptop logo (where yours says PD) in between the ports to let you know the bottom one is the 60w port.
Maybe you got an early revision of that one.

interesting, that would make a lot more sense haha!
Thanks for the in-depth review. I am looking for an extra charger, but don't want to spend a lot if I can avoid it. Compatibility is my question though. In order to enjoy the "Rapid Charging", do I need to look at anything other than output? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!!

The 63W charger is great because at this point most of the devices in our house are USB C, and the 27W is so small it will easily get thrown in my bag. I'm excited about GaN and I really hope to see small chargers with lots of ports. I've been using Aukey products for a while now, and this new lineup is definitely something I'd recommend. They are offering XDA members 50% off any of these OmniPower products on their website through the end of the month, and it looks like the discount applies to some of the items that are already discounted, so for example the battery pack is only $15.

Thanks for the in-depth review. I am looking for an extra charger, but don't want to spend a lot if I can avoid it. Compatibility is my question though. In order to enjoy the "Rapid Charging", do I need to look at anything other than output? Any help is appreciated! Thanks!!
